The Safe List - Fruit & Veg

This post has been a long time in the making because I haven't given Toffee a few of these fruits and vegetables so I have had to do my research to make sure they are all ok for guinea pigs to eat. She has, however, tried a fair few of them on here!

(Table in Alphabetical order. Created by me) 

Thank you for reading this post and please let me know if I have missed anything out. So here is the table - I hope it helps you with knowing what to feed your piggies for a great and healthy diet!

Name of Fruit / Veg	Amount to Feed	Notes
Apple	One side of a small apple	The seeds are poisonous and it is very acidic so could burn mouth.
Asparagus	One small stalk	Could cause bloating
Banana	A few small chunks	Could cause constipation
Beetroot (peeled, no stalk)	A few small chunks/slices	White piggies will go pink…
Bell Peppers (Red and Green)	A few small slices	Always remove the seeds. Toffee didn’t like this…
Brambles / Blackberries	A couple of berries per piggy	Don’t pick them unless you know what they’ve been grown with…
Broccoli	A few florets or the full stalk of the broccoli	Make sure it isn’t brown on the top
Brussel Sprouts	1-2 sprouts	May cause bloating
Cabbage (red or green)	A few leafs	May cause gas/bloating
Carrots	1 whole carrot	Lots of Vitamin A. In moderation
Carrots (baby)	3-4 per piggy	See carrots (above)
Cherries	1-2 per piggy	Sour, remove seeds! See Beetroot
Cucumber  (with skin)	A few slices	A good source of water. Wood-shavings stick to it.
Courgette	A few slices quite often	Full of great vitamins for a healthy diet for piggies!
Dandelion Leaves	A few leaves (3-4)	Can be picked from your garden – Make sure they’re definitely dandelion!
Grapes	2-3 per piggy	Make sure there’s no stalk in the top
Grass	A handful	NEVER FRESHLY CUT FROM THE GRASS CUTTER!
Kale	A small handful	Make sure it hasn’t gone brown
Lettuce	A few leaves	Not Iceberg (it’s poisonous)
Parsnip	A few chunks/slices	Only a couple of times a week
Pumpkin	A few small chunks	No seeds. Very high in vitamin A
Raspberries	A few berries per piggy	Only a couple of times a week
Spinach	6-7 leaves	Can cause bloating
Strawberries	A few berries without the tops	Only feed occasionally
